The visualization of volumetric data has aided many scientific disciplines ranging from geophysics to the biomedical sciences. The diversity of these fields coupled with a growing reliance on visualization has spawned the creation of a number of specialized visualization systems. These systems are usually limited by machine and data dependencies and are typically not flexible or extensible. A few visualization systems have attempted to overcome these dependencies by taking a data-flow approach. However, the added computational costs associated with data-flow systems results in poor performance. In addition, these systems require that the scientist or engineer invest a large amount of time understanding the capabilities of each of the computational modules and how to effectively link them together.

VolVis is a volume visualization system that unites numerous visualization methods within a comprehensive visualization system, providing a flexible tool for the scientist and engineer as well as the visualization developer and researcher.
